effect is triggered too frequently, for windows the
user doesn't consider windows
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.3.2
Platform: Debian unstable

SUMMARY
And yet two more cases where The "Fall Apart" desktop effect is triggered too
frequently, for windows the user doesn't consider windows.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
CASE A ----------------------------------------
1. Right-click on a symlink shortcut (if you don't have any, run this command
in terminal: cd ~/Desktop; ln -s /opt;).
2. Click on 'Properties' item.
3. Click on the '>-' button that is on the right of the text field with '/opt'
in it (which will show the target of the link).
CASE B ----------------------------------------
1. Right-click on the start menu icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
2. Click on 'Show Alternatives...'.
3. Click on 'Application Dashboard'.
OBSERVED RESULT
CASE A ----------------------------------------
Clicking on that target button (or whatever it is / called, I don't see a
tooltip saying what it is / does) will close the properties window triggering
the "Fall Apart" effect and then open the link's target in Dolphin.
CASE B ----------------------------------------
After opening the start menu, which is now full screen clicking on programs to
open or clicking on a non-program, so on the background, it will trigger the
"Fall Apart" effect, even though this is a menu and not a window.
EXPECTED RESULT
CASE A ----------------------------------------
I'm not sure!
It was a bit unexpected that the Properties window was closed triggering this
effect, but it also makes sens as it closes the window, even though not by
pressing the 'x' button in its top-right corner.
I guess it's fine and normal, for consistency.
It's your call if you want to leave it like that. I mainly wanted to make you
aware about this one, in case you didn't know or it was not intended to be like
that.
CASE B ----------------------------------------
This is menu, not a window, so it should not trigger this effect.
Also, the normal menu doesn't trigger this effect, so for consistency too, it
should not be triggered.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This problem is similar to the 2 fixed (and the other 2 previously fixed) in
this bug report:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499978
Hopefully these are the last cases for this effect.
BTW, after you set this bug report to fixed too, if it's possible, it would be
great if you can backport all these fixes to the 6.3 branch too, so we can have
all the fixes in the next Debian LTS release that will come with Plasma 6.3.4
or even 6.3.5, if possible / allowed to do it:
